plays and angles. Here is a small sampling of our work which is now in
our tenth year of professional handicapping.
WEST VIRGINIA(-23) VS. Western Michigan:
On
the small list of championship contenders, the West Virginia
Mountaineers open the season at home in front of their raucous fans to
face the Western Michigan Broncos. With two potential Heisman trophy
contenders in QB Patrick White and RB Steve Slaton, the high powered
offense of coach Rich Rodriguez should put up plenty of points to begin
what could be a special 2007 season. Looking at it in historical terms,
teams that come into the season with legit championship hopes more
often than not blitz their opening game opponent, especially if they
are at home. The -23 spread is quite large since Western Michigan is
not horrible. The MAC has a history of playing teams from the big
conferences tough and the Broncos do have the ability to run the
football. West Virginia's defense is loaded however and this will
nullify the main strength that Western Michigan has. This is a bad
matchup all around for Western Michigan based on the matchups and I
anticipate a blowout to help jumpstart the championship march West
Virginia hopes to make. THE PICK: WEST VIRGINIA(-23)
NEBRASKA(-19.5) VS. Nevada:
This
looks like a make or break year for head coach Bill Callahan and the
Cornhuskers look talented enogh to save his job. Transfer QB Sam Keller
has been groomed to run the West Coast offense and he also has much to
prove as as his stay with Arizona was nothing but a struggle, both
personally and athletically. Keller is immensely talented and he has
what it takes to take this team to great heights. The offense is loaded
all around him and if everything clicks, could be one of the top units
in college football. Add to the fact that they are playing at home, and
this game should be a blowout on a large scale. Using the "EMOTION
ADVANTAGE" angle we have been championing for years(check out our
website on the under Author Bio below for more on this money winning
angle) and this game serves as our first Strong Play of the year(a free
BEST BET pick for Week 1 only).
There is no tougher place to play
in almost all of college football than Lincoln, Nebraska. 90,000 will
be on hand to usher in the new year and with Callahan and Keller both
having a tremendous emotional investment in this season, I expect the
Cornhuskers to come out flying on both offense and defense. Nevada is
an up and down team from the WAC who don't have anywhere near the
offensive prowess that Nebaska has and their smallish, inexperienced
defensive backfield will open up large passing lanes for Keller to
throw to. Bet the house on Nebraska as you combine the emotional AND
strategic advantage that they have over Nevada. THE PICK:
NEBRASKA(-19.5)
